Media Training Fundamental: Reporters Are Always Working
What is the role of a reporter and to whom is that reporter responsible? This is a question we tackle in most media training sessions because DPK Public Relations believes it is important for your spokespersons to understand the environment in which they will be attempting to deliver their messages.

 According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, the thought of standing in front of a crowd for a presentation or speech absolutely terrifies us.
The good news is that great presenters are trained, not born. Through a disciplined and highly interactive process, we can help increase your confidence and competence as a public speaker. Whether public speaking rattles your nerves, or you're a seasoned presenter trying to sharpen your skills, DPK Public Relations' Presentation Skills Training will help you perfect your content and delivery and show you how to make the most of your next public speaking engagement. We believe that all executives can improve their presenation skills through a systematic presentation skills training process.
Our half-day and full-day Presentation Skills Training curriculum is designed and facilitated by an accredited public relations professional and former broadcast journalist who has trained hundreds of men and women to be more confident and better prepared for presentation situations.
We cover the following:
- Why what you look like and how the information is delivered is more important than what you are trying to communicate;
- How to master the three Ps of presenting: preparation, practice and performance;
- The importance of knowing your audience and ensuring your presentation addresses their interests and needs;
- How to structure an effective outline for your presentation to ensure you gain and keep your audience's attention;
- How to eliminate annoying "audible pauses," such as "um," "ah," "you know" and "like;"
- How to identify appropriate and powerful personal stories to illustrate the main points in the presentation;
- The importance of becoming comfortable with matching your facial expressions to your presentation, moving away from the podium and making eye contact with the audience;
- How body language can make or break your presentation and what you can do to ensure you are projecting confidence;
- Tips for how to calm your nerves and use nervousness to your advantage; and
- How to be prepared for anything in the question and answer session.
